I'm ready to creating the tables in my database but i read some complex articles which talking about Tablespaces,Redo Log Files,Control Files...
and when i'm ready to create My database i encountered some of these,so i need your help to tell me the steps i need before creating database ,,,
More thankful for every one can help me...

I'm a beginner in Oracle World so i need more to learn about this world,There's some useful guidance (from myself amongst others) in Re: I am newbie, please advise..

SID Already Exist During Creating Database

Hi,
I've just installed oracle software on AIX 5.3
- I've installed the software only.
- Then, I tried to create database, but I've got an error message that "SID is already exist". Its the first oracle SID I create but I've got this error message, but maybe the error message due to failed installation of oracle for couple of times or I did "export ORACLE_SID=..." before creating database.
I want to create database with the same SID... Whatch should I do...

Ala'

Regards,
Ala'You can't create two databases with the same SID in one host
If you don't need the first database, you can drop it
If you don't have the database (you dropped it or etc.) but Oracle still claims that you have, then clear the line from /etc/oratab file which indicates information about that database

How to estimate the size of the database object, before creating it?

A typical question arise in mind.
As DBA's, we all known to determine the objects size from the database.
But before creating an object(s) in database or in a schema, we'll do an analysis on object(s) size in relation with data growth. i.e. the size we are estimating for the object(s) we are about to create.
for example,
Create table Test1 (Id Number, Name Varchar2(25), Gender Char(2), DOB Date, Salary Number(7));
A table is created.
Now what is the maximum size of a record for this table. i.e. maximum row length for one record. And How we are estimating this.
Please help me on this...

To estimate a table size before you create it you can do the following. For each variable character column try to figure out the average size of the data. Say on average the name will be 20 out of the allowed 25 characters. Add 7 for each date column. For numbers
p = number of digits in value
s = 0 for positive number and 1 for a negative number
round((( length((p) + s) / 2)) + 1
Now add one byte for the null indicator for each colmn plus 3 bytes for the row header. This is your row length.
Multiply by the expected number of rows to get a rough size which you need to adjust for the pctfree factor that will be used in each block and block overhead. With an 8K Oracle block size if you the default pctfree of 10 then you lose 892 bytes of storage. So 8192 - 819 - 108 estimated overhead = 7265 usable. Now divide 7265 by the average row length to get an estimate of the number of rows that will fit in this space and reduce the number of usable bytes by 2 bytes for each row. This is your new usable space.
So number of rows X estimate row length divided by usable block space in blocks. Convert to Megabytes or Gigabytes as desired.

Unable to Load Database/Unable to create database.

RoboHelp 6.0 on my PC is suddenly unable to open existing
projects or create new ones. The problem is not in the projects, as
other people can unzip the same set of files and open them with
RoboHelp on their PCs.
The Details:
When attempting to open an existing project (any project
whether in version control or not), I get the message " Open
project was cancelled or the application was unable to load
database for..."
I found the article that says to delete the CPD and XPJ files
and then to use the Edit option to open the HHP file so that
RoboHelp will recreate the two files. When I try that, I get the
message "Unable to create database. Check that the directory is not
read-only." It's
not read-only.
When I attempt to create a new project, the application acts
like it is going to create one, but it just creates a project
folder without the new first topic and then repeats the New Project
Wizard window that prompts for title, etc. It will keep creating
folders and returning to this window in a loop without ever really
creating a project.
RoboSource Control is functioning normally, by the way.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled RH 6 several times, and
have even uninstalled RH 6 and installed to RH 5 just to see if it
could open projects, which it does with no problems. After that
test, I uninstalled RH 5 and reinstalled RH 6, only to encounter
the same problem all over again.
This started happening after I uninstalled other unrelated
software and received a message that some Service Pack 2 files had
been changed and prompting me to insert the Service Pack 2 CD,
which I don't have. This is because our IT department pre-builds
our systems from an image and then distributes job-specific
applications over the network. IT tried repairing Service Pack 2,
but that didn't work. I'd like to uninstall and reinstall Service
Pack 2, but the IT person says it's too risky on a system that was
built from an image.
We would like to find out
which files RoboHelp is looking for when it launches a
project so we can replace those files manually. Does anyone
know what they are or have another suggestion that might fix the
problem?
Otherwise, I am stuck having to allow IT to rebuild my
system. That means reinstalling and reconfiguring everything on it,
just as if I were upgrading to a new PC. This can take a whole work
week. However, I have already spent close to a work week on this
problem, so maybe rebuilding would save time in the long
run.

Problem Resolution = HHA.dll
For anyone who might be interested in the resolution to this
issue, we did rebuild my PC and reinstall all of my software. The
RoboHelp installation "complained" that I did not have HTML Help
Workshop on my system and told me to download version 1.4 from
Microsoft. I did have HTML Help Workshop..it's in my programs list.
(It's not listed in programs on my co-workers' PCs, and they were
not having problems, by the way.) But to make RH happy, I
uninstalled the workshop and tried to install the version from
Microsoft. But a message informed me that I already had a newer
version of the workshop on my system, and I was back where I
started. I could open projects, but there were weird problems.
Selecting Topic Properties was met with an error message, and when
the properties window opened, I could only see whatever template
was assigned (or none if the topic had lost its template), and
there was an extra section for Oracle help.
So I started dinking around in the registry to see if I could
get rid of any traces of the workshop so I could install the
version RH wanted or to find any other clues to my problem. Under
HTMLHelpAuthor, there was a reference to an HHA.dll file located in
C:\WINDOWS\system32...only the file did not exist on my system.
(Remember that my original problem was that some Service Pack 2
files were either modified or missing.) So I did a Google search on
that file name and found out that HTML Help Workshop is included in
newer Windows operating systems, but that people used to have to
get HTML Help Workshop from Microsoft, and that some people had
made the mistake of just putting the HHA.dll file into the
C:WINDOWS\system32 folder without also installing HTML Help
Workshop. At this point it was obvious that I needed the HHA.dll,
so I got it from a co-worker's PC. (Looking at the registry
entries, I can also see that my system was built with a slightly
different version of the operating system than my co-workers have.)
Adding the HHA file to my system solved the problem. All
projects but one were fine; one was still exhibiting the strange
behavior. I fixed it by going back to the RoboHelp 5 version of the
project and re-converting it to RoboHelp 6.
I suspect that if I had known about the HHA.dll file before
we rebuilt the PC, I could have solved the problem without going
through that painful process. That is why I thought I should post
the solution even though it was after the rebuild.

How can I set a value in a field before create when a New button is clicked

Hi,
I am using
JDeveloper 10.1.3.1.0.3984 and
JHeadstart 10.1.3.1 release 10.1.3.1.26
I have one group and there is a detail group under that group.
From main group to detail group there are 3 field relating those groups.
field1
field2
fieldSEQ (auto-generated by database trigger)
These 3 fields are PK.
In the detail group, there is a New button. So, when the New button is clicked, it tries to create the record with those 3 fields value as those are coming from main group. As a result it's giving the duplicate error as that record already exists in the table.
But I don't want to create the record with that SEQ as that will be created in the trigger.
How can I set the SEQ temporarily any no. (-1) before create when the New button is clicked?
Can anybody help?
Thanks

Hello Syad,
What I would suggest is setting the sequence number at the creation of the entity object (so in the create() method) by using the database sequence. This way it will always be unique.
So something like:
protected void create(AttributeList AttributeList) {
super.create(AttributeList);
SequenceImpl sequence =
new SequenceImpl("KCP_SEQ", getDBTransaction());
setFieldSeq( sequence.getSequenceNumber());
If this still does not solve it: please go to the ADF Forum since this problem is an ADF problem, not a JHeadstart problem.

CREATE DATABASE cannot create a control file

I know, it's not supported. Please refrain from reminding me.
I am trying to install a second database on an Oracle 8i installation (8.1.7.4) on a Windows 2003 server. I cannot use DBCA because it doesn't work, so I create the databases manually using the script produced by DBCA.
So I run the following:
connect INTERNAL@TEST
startup nomount pfile="C:\oracle\admin\COHPTEST\pfile\initTEST.ora"
CREATE DATABASE TEST
LOGFILE 'D:\oracle\oradata\TEST\redo01.log' SIZE 1024K,
'D:\oracle\oradata\TEST\redo02.log' SIZE 1024K,
'D:\oracle\oradata\TEST\redo03.log' SIZE 1024K
MAXLOGFILES 32
MAXLOGMEMBERS 2
MAXLOGHISTORY 1
DATAFILE 'D:\oracle\oradata\TEST\system01.dbf' SIZE 264M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 10240K
MAXDATAFILES 254
MAXINSTANCES 1
CHARACTER SET WE8ISO8859P1
NATIONAL CHARACTER SET WE8ISO8859P1;
I receive the following error:
ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed
ORA-00200: controlfile could not be created
ORA-00202: controlfile: 'D:\oracle\oradata\TEST\ctrl01.ctl'
ORA-27040: skgfrcre: create error, unable to create file
OSD-04002: unable to open file
O/S-Error: (OS 3) The system cannot find the path specified.
More information:
1) Added the "Everyone" account to full control on the D: drive, to eliminate the possibility of access issues.
2) The control files, the alertLog, and just about every other file do not exist before, or after the error.
3) I cannot produce more detailed information other than what you see. I do not know of a trace that will track this, which would be helpful.
4) I've tried from both SQLPLUS and SVRMGRL, as well as using INTERNAL, SYS accounts as well as adding sysdba privileges.
I would love to upgrade this instance, but it has other databases on it, and only one box to run this DB on.
SO, just to be sure, telling me to upgrade isn't what I am hoping to learn. I would appreciate some insight on how to display the account svrmgrl runs under, or how to get it to run under another user ID that would be great, or why it can't create the file, or a manual way to create the file (CREATE CONTROLFILE is for existing db's only right? )

Hello, my name is stupid.
I was using a remote file in my TNS_ADMIN environment value. It was pointing to the old database the whole time. The old database was up and down all day, but no one was on it to notice.
Answer: Please check your TNS_ADMIN file, to make sure that you do not have any naming conflicts with the database you are creating, and another database with the same name in your collection of databases.
What happened:
The reason it could not create the files: There was another TEST database, which was what was connected to, and I tried to create the files on another server which did not have a D: Drive.
When I switched to C: it stated the files were already in existence, which I knew wasn't true, and what led me to look at what I was connecting to.
When I checked my TNSNames.Ora file, I noticed the 2nd entry for a database also named "TEST" that a previous DBA had left in there, I realized I was working on the wrong database because it connected to the first database in the TNSNames listed for that SID.
I removed the entry from the TNSNames file, and the database was created successfully (Manually, DBCA still doesn't work).
Thanks for all that tried to help, but introspection was the only solution.

Problem when creating Database (Database, OS and hardware Configuraiton included)

Problem when creating Database:
Below are the problems, which I faced during creation of database. I have mentioned both the problem separately. Plus the log file maintained by Oracle during installation. It might help in diagnosing the error. Plus a little conclusion with I turned up to.
There are two problems, when creating database with Oracle Database Assistant. One when creating pre tuned database from CD. And second when creating customized database giving options your self.
Problem # 1:
When creating pre tuned database from CD. The process of creating Database is 90 % complete and is at step # 3 Initializing Database. It gives error ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel.
I searched following oracle help for this problem.
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
Cause: An unexpected end-of-file was processed on the communication channel. The problem could not be handled by the Net8, two-task software. This message could occur if the shadow two-task process associated with a Net8 connect has terminated abnormally, or if there is a physical failure of the interprocess communication vehicle, that is, the network or server machine went down.
Action: If this message occurs during a connection attempt, check the setup files for the appropriate Net8 driver and confirm Net8 software is correctly installed on the server. If the message occurs after a connection is well established, and the error is not due to a physical failure, check if a trace file was generated on the server at failure time. Existence of a trace file may suggest an Oracle internal error that requires the assistance of customer support.
Conclusion:
What I conceive from this problem and the help available is that, I have to install NET8 again. But I am not sure about the solution, please tell me whether I am rite or not.
Problem # 2:
When creating database with custom option. The process of creating Database is 2 % complete and is at step # 2 Creating Database Files. It gives error ORA-12571: TNS:packet writer failure.
I searched following oracle help for this problem.
ORA-12571: TNS:packet writer failure
Cause: An error occurred during a data send.
Action: Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and re-execute the operation. If error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.
Conclusion:
What I conceive from this problem and the help available is that, I have to install NET8 again. But I am not sure about the solution, please tell me whether I am rite or not.

Dont't worry about that. Before you
create a table(or view), it is wise to
drop the table(or view) with the same name.
If the name doesn't exist, of course there
is an error message. See the following script:
-------------------begin-----------
drop table students cascade constraints;
create table students (
sid varchar2(5),
fname varchar2(20),
lname varchar2(20) not null,
minit char,
primary key (sid));

Create database

Hi Experts,

> During input phase only sapint will check for Oracle software if I am not wrong.
If you do the installation properly you
- start sapinst (first!)
- you continue with the installation until sapinst stops and request you to start the database software installation
- then you install the Oracle software with the given script (RUNINSTALLER)
- you apply the patches (10.2.0.2 or 10.2.0.4)
- you patch the OPatch tool
- you apply the all interim patches (on Unix using MOPatch)
- and you THEN press on OK to continue.
> If it not able to find Oracle software, it will give popup saying
>
> Oracle not found, Install oracle and Press OK to continue
If that message appears you did not follow the installation guide.
Most installation problems (environment variables, listener, sql scripts, R3load etc.) come because people tend to install the database before they start sapinst - which is wrong if you install a SAP system.
I have done many many installations on various platforms and I never got the error message that "Oracle is not installed".

Anybody ever get any events like this before? I'm not finding much or nothing on Google or on other forums, so I thought I would run it past and see if anyone has experienced anything of a similar
nature. And yes, the farm account obviously has creator/secadmin permissions, at this point of our deployment....
I look forward to any and all feedback. Thanks and good afternoon!

I figured out the answer to this myself. For those few who might run into something akin to my error...
During the off-hours of where I work, I re-applied the farm account credentials to all dB server VM SQL services that had the account for a log-on (i.e., MSSQLSERVER, SQLSERVERAGENT, etc.) as well as all SharePoint services on our WFE/App Server VM (a two
server farm is what we host), in that order. Then I rebooted the dB server first, followed by the SharePoint server. Upon coming back, everything was working fine again. I was able to provision a site, no probelm, and it seemed to even be a little snappier
when doing so.
One note: doing this procedure gave me a "One or more services have started or stopped unexpectedly" error in the Health Analyzer, for the SPTimerV4 service. When you get this, simply enter into the item and click on "Reanalyze Now;" this will quickly clear
the error out of the Analyzer, and all should be right with the world! :)

Script to Create Database from an Existing One

I believe there is way to generate a script for re-creating a database from an existing database. But I forgot how. Anyone can Help. Thanks.

Hi,
Run the dbca.bat which in the oracle installer,
In the last option you will get two options
1)to create database
2)create the script
Here generate the script and run it in sql,
Before that create the oracleservice and connect to the instance
and run the script.
Regards,
Nirmal

Delaying one minute before creating connection

after getting this message - delaying one minute before creating
connection - the system stuck.
Does anyone know why?
Thanks
Yuval Avni

sorry for the trouble, guys. just got it to work accepting all the defaults and just putting in the name of my computer as it appears in netstat for the connection name.
I guess I still do have a smaller question: Can I choose different connection names or do they have to be the name of the server from which the database is running? I ask because I created 2 users from the home page for 2 different databases (1 from the book I'm working on 1 for my own creation), and it might be advantageous to name the connection differently for those 2 (?).

Listener pre-requisite for create database using dbca

Hello All:
Oracle binaries successfully installed using dbca (Advanced Installation, Custom, Install DB software only)
Now when i use dbca to create a database, i have noticed one of the screen prompts me to "Select the listeners for which you want to register the database".
Question:
Do we have to create the listener before we create the database so we can register the database.
Is this a standard step asking us to register the database with the listener or we can get along with the create database without having to create the listener ahead of the database creation.
Is this step asked because of the type of install i choose earlier for binaries using dbca (Advanced Installation, Custom, Install DB software only)
Thanks

The screen doesn't let me go on to the other screen without making a selection. That is the reason i was wondering if it has been tied up the the install options you choose when you install software only.
Thanks
San~I don't have dbca in front of me at the moment, but does it present you with a list from which to choose? If so, is one of the choices 'listener' or 'default'? If so, choose one of those.

ASO - Create database error

I have been tried to create ASO database from either esscmd or maxl, but both failed. For esscmd: copydb "oldApp" "oldDatabase" "newApp" "newDatabase"; for maxl: create database newApp.newDatabase as oldApp.oldDatabase Both got same error: Operation not supported for aggregate storage applications. Any helps would be great. Thanks, Yan

This is because you need to do a little bit more then you just did. This is what I used on my local machine (OS X) for my database area51, the script was created by the DBCA. As you can see I point to a pfile before I create the database. In this init.ora file, the db_name has been set (among a lot of other stuff). Therefore I gave you the hint to look into the documentation ;)

please help me to resolve this

Hi Friend,
Please check the following permissions for all the below :
Grid Infrastructure Home Owner : grid
Primary Group : oinstall
Secondary Groups : asmadmin, asmdba, asmoper
RDBMS Home Owner : oracle
Primary Group : oinstall
Secondary Groups : dba, oper, asmdba
In case of stand alone set up, if the 11.2 Database be managed by Oracle Restart ( srvctl stop/start ), then 'grid' user should also be a part of 'dba' group.
The ASM Disks would be owned by grid:asmadmin
Please check once again...Before starts
Hope it helps...
Thanks
